Diesel van drivers could slash their fuel bills by 87% if they made the switch to electric, claims Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles.
With the average van driver covering over 13,000 miles a year, VW estimates drivers could save nearly £28,000 a year in fuel costs.
In a survey of 1,000 drivers, 58% cited the cost difference between fuel and charging as the main reason for switching.
The price of diesel hit £2 a litre earlier this week, due to the ongoing conflict with Iran.
